When I get away from the office and the computer terminal, I enjoy
playing tennis, sculling,
or sailing when the
weather cooperates, and squash, when it doesn't. Also, a good ski mountain
will pull me away from just about anything. In the meantime, the trailmap
from Jackson Hole
makes great computer wallpaper.

Another of my passions is classical music, and particularly opera. The
Met has a good website,
including the schedule of their Saturday matinee radio broadcasts.
If I can't sing while I work, for fear of disturbing (or scaring) those around,
at least my computer sings to announce e-mail. Click here
to hear Rosina (from Rossini's Barber of Seville) sing "Un biglietto,
eccolo qua," or download the sound for your own machine. In the cold
of winter, it's also nice to look ahead to the Tanglewood
season in the Berkshires.
